Summary: LILO based boot uses last kernel image

Initial Comment:
If there is no GRUB boot configuration file and/if the 
system boots only with LILO (SuSE 7.x and such) the 
last image-line of the /etc/lilo.conf is used to find the 
kernel. Often this fails, since the image line contains not 
a kernel but a memory test program.

The intended operation is use the first image-line of 
the /etc/lilo.conf.

This bug affects also the network boot. When base 
image is taken, the same, buggy method is used to 
select the kernel to store on the server.

The problem is located in the module boot.c. The problem is 
resolved in the v2.0.5, available in the CVS branch v2_0_5. 
You can take the boot.c from the above CVS and recompile 
with Makefile. Release v2.0.6 will contain the fix.
Of course, you can make your /etc/lilo.conf to contain but 
one image-definition (shame on me to propose this!).
